Claire Barnfather and Lisa Scrannage have made the cut for the finals of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy.

On June 23 the duo from Essensuals hairdressers in Marlborough High Street will head to Grosvenor House Hotel in London to battle it out with the other 47 regional finalists for the award.

They will have to complete a live cut and colour and a catwalk show.

Franchisee Darrell Greenway said: “It’s a great achievement for them and they have worked really hard for it, so it is good to see their hard work has paid off.

“For their personal progress it’s fantastic and it’s also really good for promoting the salon.

“Last year we were the regional winners of the L’Oréal men’s award and our in-house perfect salon award so we needed to keep up our winning streak.”

The overall winners will win a photo shoot in London to showcase their look, a day training with an experienced session stylist, a fashion shoot with Elle Magazine and lunch with their hairdressing idol.
